Hi
Need to do the final leg to get my
boat from UK to
west coast Canada. I had everything in place with an experienced
delivery crew to do the 'delivery route'. The crew have had to cry off due to other
work commitments.
So now looking at splitting into three legs and going
St Lucia,
Panama,
Hawaii. Although longer this should be easier sailing, saves the windward mileage and goes round the north side of the Pacific high and give more chances for crew changes/re-supply
Looking for 1 or 2 crew for each leg or would still be interested in someone who wanted to do the whole
route.
Sailing Plan
Arriving
St Lucia about 21st Feb, depart for
Panama by 1st week March
St Lucia Panama, about 10days (1,100 miles)
Panama Canal ???? Not done it before, information is up to 6 weeks
Leave
Panama sometime in April for
Hawaii, about 45 days
About 1 week stopover in Hawaii for R&R and provisions/crew change then leave early June
Should be home end of June/mid July.
Boat
32ft
classic wooden
cutter refitted for expedition sailing, Good safe sea boat but does not have modern space and amenities. See my profile for pic's
Me

Cost
Min, pay your own
food, travel & visas . If possible a contribution towards berthing and
fuel would be appreciated
Experience
Must have some
offshore sailing, capable of taking a watch on your own, safe and competent
deck hand (panama canal!!), Bear in mind we could be at sea for up to 2 months, the pacific leg is 5000+ miles
